This continues discussion around effects of The International Charter Space and Major Disasters. This was mentioned 2 episodes ago by Andrew Schroeder of Direct Relief. Development Seed, via Kevin Bullock, continues this discussion. Kevin came up on LinkedIn shortly after the #LAfires. He catalogued all open spatial data released for example from satellite imagery providers . He provides extra detail on LinkedIn, along with several other experts in the comments.

Kevin's point is that, if the industry was responding effectively to this charter, he would not have to spend a week curating this list of open data. Yes, it is 2025 and the best we've got is a Google Sheet someone volunteered their time to make. We have to ask what incentives are necessary to stop this happening again.

THE GEOSPATIAL INDEX

The Geospatial Index is a comprehensive listing of all publicly traded geospatial businesses worldwide. Why? The industry is growing at ~5.4% annually (after inflation and after adjusting for base rates). This rate varies significantly, however, by sub index. For ~$400,000 to start, this growth rate is $5,000,000 over a working life. This channel, Bluesky account, newsletter, watchlist and podcast express the view that you are serious about geospatial if you take the view of an investor, venture capitalist or entrepreneur. You are expected to do your own research. This is not a replacement for that. This is not investment advice. Consider it entertainment.
